About this webinar

Professor Stefaan Nijs elaborates on how 3D technologies are transforming the field of trauma surgery and improving the quality of life of dozens of patients, many with severe complications that made them untreatable with conventional methods.


During the webinar, Prof. Nijs demonstrates the capabilities of 3D imaging for accurate diagnosis by presenting a case study of a patient with a calcaneal fracture. 3D visualization is also extremely useful for diagnosis and predicting the best medical procedure. This is exemplified by a case example of a 17-year-old girl who suffered severe injuries after a horseback riding accident. Dr. Nijs concludes with the benefits and reasons why he feels that 3D visualization and guidance make trauma surgery a craft and no longer an art.

  • Case stories and practical examples, illustrated by pictures and videos of how Dr. Nijs uses the 3D technique in his daily practice
